Lyrics

Land of thee brave home of lies
Beneath stars and stripes that fill the skies
Slavery's stain truth denied
Where innocence died we can't hide

Yo from sea to shining sea, land of the free
But truth unveils a darker side, you see
Built on backs of those in chains
A nation's hypocrisy igniting flames

Preached equality justice they sold
Shackles and chains hearts turned cold
Plantation wealth grew humanity cried
Freedom façade as innocence died

They sang of justice and liberty's glow
Hatred and oppression it did grow
Profits surged as lashes scarred
Innocence vanished hearts deeply scarred

Struggles endured silenced pain
Generations marked still we remain
Wounds unseen stories unfold
Innocence lost stories untold

Through the years we rise above
Resilient hearts strength and love
Voices unite in unity's dance
Innocence lost still we advance

Land of thee brave home of lies
Beneath stars and stripes that fill the skies
Slavery's stain truth denied
Where innocence died we can't hide

Spoke of liberty yet chains did cling
Foundation of lies, let freedom ring
Cotton fields bloomed wealth amassed
Justice for all
That dream faded fast

Cash crop of humans profits immense
Dreams crushed no retribution's defense
Cracked whips, shattered lives
Untold stories pain survives

Whispers of ancestors strength in the breeze
Roots run deep through centuries
Silent resilience spirits soar
Innocence lost forevermore

Embracing heritage futures entwined
Through darkness a light will find
Innocence lives on in hearts that mend
We'll rise above united in the end

Land of thee brave home of lies
Beneath stars and stripes that fill the skies
Slavery's stain truth denied
Where innocence died we can't hide

Foundations on stolen ground blood spilled
Natives displaced their spirits chilled
Manifest destiny a twisted creed
Exploitation suffering hearts bleed

Broken treaties trails of tears so vast
Centuries of pain shadows cast
Price of progress a heavy toll
Innocence lost a fractured soul

Walked ancestral paths seeking grace
Struggles endured culture's embrace
Tribes united spirits remain
Innocence lost their strength sustained

Healing wounds we stand tall
Answering history's urgent call
Innocence echoes through time's embrace
A legacy of hope a brighter space

Land of thee brave, home of lies
Beneath stars and stripes that fill the skies
Slavery's stain, truth denied
Where innocence died we can't hide

Land of the brave, home of lies
Beneath stars and stripes that fill the skies
Slavery's stain truth denied
Where innocence died we can't hide
